If you watched the 2022 Streamy Awards, you may have wondered why Jimmy Donaldson traveled to Antarctica instead of accepting his third-straight Creator of the Year award. On Christmas Eve, subscribers to Donaldson’s MrBeast channel got the answer to that question — and it involved a surprising collaborator.
Donaldson and his buddies spent 50 hours on their own amidst the desolate terrain of Antarctica. That setup would make for an epic video even without a soundtrack, but the MrBeast contingent happened to run into a legendary musician on its polar voyage. Donaldson met Hans Zimmer while in Antarctica, and the German composer agreed to provide a fitting score for the creator’s latest video.
‘I Survived 50 Hours In Antarctica’ features some of Donaldson’s regulars, including Karl Jacobs and Sapnap, as well as guest star Dream. The Minecraft creator recently revealed his face to his 30 million subscribers, and he is now showing it in videos across YouTube.

After arriving in Antarctica to film his latest YouTube video, which sees the stunt-happy creator spending 50 hours outside the Union Glacier area, Donaldson quickly learned that Zimmer was also in the area. He took the opportunity to pitch the composer and, within a span of roughly four hours, the two struck a deal to have the Oscar winner score the upcoming YouTube video, according to Donaldson.
“The moment I heard Hans was there too, I knew I had to work with him on this no matter what it took. No one else would understand...

PBS dominated the documentary portion of this year’s News and Documentary Emmys, landing ten awards overall — including three for “Pov,” two for “Independent Lens” and two for “Frontline,” which are three of the public broadcaster’s long-running, signature series.
Netflix followed with four wins, then Showtime with three. The documentary Emmys were awarded on Wednesday by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the second of two individual ceremonies; categories honoring TV news were handed out on Tuesday.
“Tonight, we celebrate these documentary professionals who in the unprecedented year of 2020 delivered the insightful, clear, factual and timely filmmaking necessary to make sense of the tumultuous times that we live in,” said Adam Sharp, President & CEO, NATAS.
Ozy CEO Carlos Watson had originally signed on to host the documentary ceremony, but bowed out earlier this week following a New York Times article chronicling questionable claims and practices inside his company.
